Mr. Dara asked them to introduced themself and I insisted that they do it in English, since most of them have stopped speaking it. The biggest need for all of them was a laptop computer, because most assignments are now given online and books are a thing of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This coming weekend we will be going out to Prey Veng to promote the daycae center. I will let you know how that goes in the next post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sahaka.org\/en\/donate\">The&nbsp;SAHAKA donation&nbsp;page<\/a>&nbsp;is up to date for those who may want to help us in this coming year with a tax-deductible donation.
